Made a page for Reel Change captures:  (please recommend info to add)

http://fd.noneinc.com/Reel_Changes/Reel_Changes.html

Right now there are three sources.  Moth3r, Catnap and PuggoGrande.  Each 'source' should open into a new window.  If it goes into a new tab, then right click and choose new window. 

What becomes clear is that Catnap is probably as zombie84 suggested a 16mm.  Open up the first reel change of 3po and R2 talking, and the bottom cropping is almost exact, missing the horizon line only seen in Moth3r.

 

An oddity which could be a clue for future widescreen identification, in Moth3r's source Reel Change 5 to 6 In (the first burn) is doubled.

 

*EDIT*

And then checking the Starkiller & MeBeJedi, the burn marks are only on the top, there is no bottom one.  It maybe be cut off, a 16mm trait.  So maybe they both are 16mm source....  Need to identify other aspects to determine differences to nail down a source, before jumping to conclusions.

So the question, Could there have been burn mark differences between versions of a film?  I don't know.

*EDIT2*

But if this conclusion is correct, then this Catnap could be the source for the pan/scan Starkiller/MeBeJedi.  Would explain the blowed up resolution.  Maybe there's a video glitch which could support that they are a similar source.

*EDIT3*

nah the Catnap blue shift shows that this VHS version couldn't be Starkiller/MeBeJedi.  ok enough of my thinking and typing... Wappidity Scrappity Dooooo
